A guide to the IRR of procurement law

MANILA, Philippines — Experience has taught many erring public officials that lack of knowledge of the updated procurement law cost them their jobs, perpetual disqualification from holding a government position, forfeiture of retirement pay, damages, jail time and irreparable negative reputation that is painful for them and their families.

This has also led to millions of lost business opportunities for the private-sector due to questionable processes after investing a huge amount of time, money and effort in winning a government project, only to be invalidated afterwards.

With the advocacy of educating the general public on this special topic, the Center for Global Best Practices will host a series of online training programs via Zoom on the following dates:

a) Best Practices Guide to the law and IRR for procurement of goods 1:30 to 4:45 p.m. | Wednesday to Friday, May 31, June 1 and 2.
